Hessien
Your Empire, In Decline
Long Story Recording Company

Electro-acoustic minimalism. Really beautiful and somewhat dark. RIYL Insect Factory, Tom Carter

**1. (4:36) Fuzz, quiet guitar loops, hazy guitar slow ambient psych rises
*2. (5:23) Beautiful drone sustained by guitar, very still until electric guitar washes of ambient distortion
**3. (4:08) Howling wolf synth, lonesome drone with rich layers develops pulse RIYL Natural Snow Buildings
4. (3:32) Howling winds, electronic whistles creaks and cracks
***5. (5:24) Driving piano/synth rhythm, whirls of distorted guitar tones, very circular
**6. (6:48) Ringing circular drone cacophony, nice bass fuzz
7. (3:03) Acoustic guitar, strange electro fuzz spunds
**8. (4:40) Tentative guitar drone, steady bass
**9. (6:42) Sleepy drone with pleasant sparkles and distortion waves
**10. (4:57) Lovely distorted strings build
***11. (4:44) Low distorted guitar riff, organ flurries, deep synth
